Questiоn 3: [16 pоints] Repоrt four digits аfter the decimаl for criticаl ratio calculations. CampingLife manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale. For each of the settings below, specify (i) the unit cost of having too much inventory, (ii) the unit cost of not having enough inventory, and (iii) the critical ratio. a. [6 points] The manager estimates that it costs $30 to produce a jacket. Each jacket sells for $60/unit. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25/unit at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost.   b. [6 points] The manager estimates that it costs $30 to produce a jacket. Each jacket sells for $60/unit. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25/unit at the year-end clearance sale. If there is no winter fleece jacket left, the customers buy the rider jacket instead (for which you may assume that there is ample supply) which has a net profit margin of $20/unit.   c. [4 points] In which of the above settings, (a) or (b), do you expect CampingLife to produce more winter fleece jackets? Please justify your answer briefly.

Questiоn 2: [26 pоints] Century Furniture requires wоod boаrds for аll its mаnufacturing cells. The usage rate for the boards is 2,000 boards per month. The fixed ordering cost is $1,000/order, and the average purchasing cost is $200/board. For internal planning purposes, Century Furniture uses an annual inventory carrying rate of 25 percent. a. [5 points] What is the optimal order quantity for the boards that minimizes the total average annual cost?   b. [6 points] What is the average annual ordering cost for the order quantity that you have determined in part (a)? What is the average annual inventory holding cost for the order quantity that you have determined in part (a)?   c. [10 points] Suppose that an industrial engineering intern has recently completed a study to estimate the annual inventory-carrying rate accurately and found out that Century Furniture should be using an annual inventory-carrying rate of 40 percent. Then, what is the optimal order quantity for the boards that minimizes the total average annual cost? Comparing the new optimal order quantity with the one that you have determined in part (a), how did the optimal order quantity change? Briefly explain why.   d. [5 points] Century Furniture is considering investing in an automated line to fabricate wood boards in-house. Suppose that the production rate for this new line is 4,000 boards/month. The fixed manufacturing setup cost for the board-cutting line is $5,000/setup, and the average purchasing cost of raw material is $100/board. Century Furniture updates the annual inventory carrying rate to 40%. Then, what is the optimal production quantity for the boards that minimizes the total average annual cost?
